Chapter 227 Tea

Yue Ling glance at the middle aged man and she smiles to him.

"He scammed a family for money knowing the grandmother in that family has Alzheimer. I have to say Chu Qiang, I never thought a man of virtue like yourself would have such an undisciplined brother."

Hearing this, Chu Qiang was at a loss for all words. The color on his face was drained till he looked like ghost. His younger brother said he got money from his gambling businesses, never was he informed about scamming people.

He knows that even though Yue Ling was smiling and her expression not a threat, he has seen that smile before. It was no wonder Ti Lung committed suicide.

Lu Tian frown at his wife's words. He thought back to the old lady from the food stand. Why didn't she bring up the fact that Chu Qiang's younger brother sent men to cause a scene at the rundown building?

From across the room, Chu Qiang takes a deep breath and nod his head. Yue Ling wouldn't lie, because anything that doesn't concern her, she would never pay a visit. So his younger scamming families in Imperial must be true.

"I will talk to my brother and have him return the money he scammed. Please, let him go this time, he's young and doesn't know much. I will teach him more for his improper behavior."

His eyes stare at Yue Ling with pleading then to Lu Tian. As if asking the man to help. From what he saw, it was sure that the man listened to his wife's every words.

However, Lu Tian did not give a care at all. He sat like a ruler, yet also like a subordinate waiting for his wife's decision.

Yue Ling touch her chin and purse her lip. Looking at Chu Qiang, she smiles to him.

"I will let this incident go on account that you once saved my grandfather."

Hearing this, Chu Qiang felt his spirit come back to his body, bringing him to life again. He nod his head vigorously.

"You have my word I will discipline my younger brother. No mishap will ever happen again."

"Here's the tea boss."

In that moment, Julia returns with a tray in her hands. There were three cups of tea, she set one down to Chu Qiang and then she walks over to Yue Ling and Lu Tian.

Each step she took, her expression remained the same, yet her eyes revealed the evilness in her. She place the tray down on a side table and hands a cup of tea to Yue Ling.

She smiles a sweet smile, "Please drink some tea."

From behind Yue Ling, Qi Li's and Lin Hui's eyes darken. Taking a step forward, Qi Li spoke out.

"Boss, let me—"

"It's alright."

Yue Ling stops Qi Li and she glance at the tea then to Julia with a smile.

"It's just tea after all. Right, Chu Qiang?"

She leisurely takes the tea and drinks it. Seeing this, the light in Julia's eyes brighten more evilly.

"Yes, Yes. It's only tea."

Chu Qiang quickly answers. His eyes glaring at his right hand woman as if wanting to kill her. He swore inside, of anything happens, he will make sure the woman lives a life full of hell.

Oblivious to her boss's thought, Julia hands the other tea to Lu Tian. Putting on a facade, she blush and shyly pass the cup.

"Here you go, Mr—"

"Yaaaaawnnn—-!!"

*Craaassh!*

"..."

"Ah! My bad, how clumsy of me."

Julia was dumbfounded. Her head slowly lower and she stare unblinking at her shirt that is drench with the tea then to the shattered glass cup on the floor.

Lin Hui: "Pfffff!*

Qi Li: "Hmmf."

Hearing the two men, she glares at them then to the person who knocked the cup out of her hand.

Xu Long smiles like an idiot with his eyes closed. Opening his mouth, he yawn again.

"Oh my, I didn't think my hand would accidentally bump the cup."

Standing by his side, Li Wei's face turned red as he try to hold in his laugh. When Julia tried to pass the cup, Xu Long had 'accidentally' stretch his arm forward and slap the cup out of the woman's hands. Yet, he still played it off like everything was an accident.

"Julia, what is going on?"

Chu Qiang quickly speaks. His eyes dimmed at the woman then to the shatter cup on the floor.

"Call someone to come clean up the mess."

"Yes, Boss."

"No need to, we're leaving now."

Yue Ling set the cup of tea down and spoke as she stood from her seat with Lu Tian doing exactly the same. It was as if he could read her mind and follow all her moves like her shadow.

"I trust that you will keep your words. However, if there's a second time."

She looks at the middle aged man then to the woman. The sweet smile she had before disappear without a trace. One could see that her expression was giving a warning.

"His fate is mine to decide."

Lu Tian glance at his wife and he couldn't help but smile inside. The her at this moment was one he never thought would exist. Even if he has millions of question that he wants to ask, this side of her just adds more to his love for her. Placing one hand inside the pocket of his suit pant, his other hand held hers and he lead the way out of the room.

Chu Qiang stare in a daze as his guests leave one by one. Until the red double doors closed and silence filled the room once again, he finally returned to his senses.

In that moment, Julia clench her fist and she looks at her boss. It was understandable why her Boss is afraid of Lu Tian, but why did it seem like he was more afraid of the woman?

Her eyes subconsciously glance at the tea she had given Yue Ling and she pout her lip.

"Boss, who is that woman? She... she didn't even drink the tea."

Chu Qiang sighed hearing Julia's words. He stood from his chair and walked over to Yue Ling's cup of tea. Picking it up, he lift the cup and looks at Julia.

"Next time, don't make the same mistake again."

*craaaaash!"

He threw the cup onto the floor, shattering it to pieces. Striding to the window, his eyes darken.

"Go find Chu Li Xiang and drag his ass here!"
